110 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1 ِ لِيَعْبُدُوْن خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَ الْاِنْسَ اِلَّا وَمَا And I have not created the Jinn and the men but that they may worship Me. An individual ought to possess a zeal for the sake of God and if they do, they shall outstrip their fellow man and become among those who enjoy the nearness of God. One must not be like a dead corpse—when something is put in from one side of the mouth, it comes out of the other. In the same manner, when someone is in a wretched state, nothing good can go inside. Remember that no worship or charity is accepted until one possesses a sincere fervour for the sake of Allah Almighty—a fervour that is free from traces of selfishness or personal motive. It ought to be such that even a person himself is unable to explain why they possess this fervour. There is a dire need for such people, but nothing is possible without the will of God. The Present State of Affairs and the Need for a Reformer Those who have been engaged in such service to religion ought to remember that they have done no favour upon God. There comes a time when every crop must be cut for harvesting. In the same manner, now the time has come for corrup- tion to be dispelled. The worship of the Trinity has reached its highest limit and the Truthful One has been slandered and insulted to the greatest possible extent. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has not been valued even to the extent of a bee or a wasp. People fear wasps and are even appre- hensive of ants, but no one has hesitated in speaking ill of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Such people fall true to the following statement of God Almighty: 2 بِاٰيٰتِنَا كَذَّبُوْا They rejected our signs. They have lashed out against the Holy Prophet sa as much as they could and have openly spewed out vulgarities and invectives against him. Now the time has truly come for God to recompense them. In such an era, Allah the Exalted always raises a man. As God Almighty states: 1 adh-Dhariyat, 51:57 2 Aal-e-Imran, 3:12
